2009 Press Pass Legends Racing Break & Review

Design: ’09 Legends Racing has the same base set design as their popular football product.  Images of current drivers are in color and drivers of the past come in black and white.  Most of the images on the base cards are closeups of the actual drivers which is common for a product like this.  There [...]

2009 Executive Trading Politicians Box Break & Review

Executive Trading is one of the newest card manufacturers to enter The Hobby.  They focus strictly on political trading cards, and contain images of people who work for the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches of government.  They were nice enough to send over a box for me to break and review. Design: The first thing [...]

Out Of Control Warning Labels

Earlier this year I talked about how boxes of ’09 Allen & Ginter come with a warning label informing people of the choking hazards these cards supposively have.  All I can picture in my head is some nut sitting at his desk and eating one of those mini cards that come in each pack.  Last [...]

Johnny Evers Is On The Way

Waking up this morning I was hoping to find that I had won an auction for a Joe Tinker 2002 Topps T206 bat relic, but I ended up losing it by $1.00.  While looking for another Tinker, I came across this Johnny Evers bat from the same set.  I sent in my offer and the [...]

I Bet HK Will Be Watching

Earlier this season the Phillies lost legendary broadcaster and one of their best friends, Harry Kalas.  That April afternoon was a dark day for Phillies fans everywhere.  The first time I ever met Harry in person was in January of 2008 right after they won the NL East Division.  The Phillies had come to Williamsport [...]

Mini Medals & Cards Containing Pins

Yesterday while attending a small card show, I came across a rare Tom Fears 2008 Topps Mini Medal that popped right out to me when I approached a familiar dealer.  It didn’t take long for me to realize that I had to have it.  Even though the WWII Victory Medal displayed inside the card is [...]

Flashback Product of the Week: 1995 Collector’s Edge Excalibur Football

Who doesn’t love a product that has a huge sword on the front of the box?  1995 Collector’s Edge Excalibur Football went in the strange direction of a knight theme set.  Inside these boxes you can find inserts such as “Rookie Round Table” and “Dragon Slayers”.  I’m not sure why Collector’s Edge would produce a [...]

Another Joe Paterno Cut Found

Joe Paterno now has a confirmed 4 cut signatures floating around The Hobby somewhere.  A little over a month ago the only one Razor produced popped up for sale, and now one of the 3 made by Panini has surfaced.  Paterno is slowly making his way into The Hobby.  Your going to need some deep [...]

2009 UD SP Threads Football Box Pulls + Card Show Pickups

I really enjoyed opening this box of ’09 UD SP Threads Football.  It started off a little slow, but then it picked up.  In the past, Upper Deck made this a high-end product where you would receive a few autographs and/or relics per pack.  This year they changed it a little bit which I think [...]
